Whisk(e)y Advent 2025

Welcome to Advent.

“Celebrating Advent means learning how to wait…
Not all can wait—certainly not those who are satisfied, contented, and feel that they live in the best of all possible worlds! Those who learn to wait are uneasy about their way of life, but yet have seen a vision of greatness in the world of the future and are patiently expecting its fulfillment.
The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come. For these, it is enough to wait in humble fear until the Holy One himself comes down to us: God in the child in the manger. God comes. The Lord Jesus comes. Christmas comes. Christians rejoice!”1

Let us learn to wait and anticipate together this year. From November 30 - December 25th, you can access advent reflections and tasting notes below. Leave your comments and reflections via the integrated Hypothes.is platform.
